larceny and theft bail bonds

Larceny and theft charges are criminal charges that will require the accused to stand trial. If you or a loved one is faced with these charges, take a look at some of these frequently asked questions:

What’s the difference between larceny and theft charges?

Although you may often see larceny and theft charges talked about together, they are different charges with an important distinction. Larceny involves an individual taking items that are not theirs. Theft also involves taking someone else’s possessions, but it includes the use of force and perhaps even violence. As a result, theft is usually considered to be more serious than larceny.

What’s the process for getting a bail bond for my loved one?

Your first step to getting your loved one out of jail is to call a professional bail bonds company and provide them with basic information such as the accused’s name, charges against them, bail amount and place where they are being held. Next, the bail bonds professionals will help you complete the necessary paperwork and submit it to the court. These forms will include things like the cosigner agreement, payment information, and more. Once all of these forms are processed, your loved one will be released to you to await their court date. 

Can a minor face larceny/theft charges?

Juveniles can face theft and larceny charges, but in many cases the accused will face less severe punishments than they would as adults. 

If you borrow property and do not return it can you face theft or larceny charges?

A large part of theft and larceny is intent, so this must be determined on a case by case basis. If you borrow something and genuinely forget to return it, the charges against you probably will not stick. However, if the person who lent you the item can produce proof that they reminded you to return it and you told them you will not, or something similar, the charges are much more valid. Typically, because theft charges involve the use of force or violence, intent for theft is much easier to prove.

How much is bail for Larceny/Theft in CT?

In Connecticut, the bail amount for larceny and theft can vary based on the severity of the offense and the defendant's criminal history. Typically, bail for these charges ranges from $500 to $5,000, but it can be higher for more serious cases. It's crucial to consult with a bail bondsman to get an accurate estimate based on the specific circumstances of the case.
